Someone on Twitter told me this was the best pub in town. A freehouse, a short walk away. The bar was busy, with no room for us to get in, which meant we were in a quiet side room and sadly alone. Beers were not too interesting - think there were four cask on and I narrowed it down to a choice between Tetley (chosen) and Golden Hen.

Maybe I need to go and aim for the front bar!

No longer a Robinson's pub, though the pub name and the words Free House look like the old Hartley's Brewery style. It's a brew house with an on-site brewery of the same name. There were four beers on, two from out back and two from Keswick brewery (a long way from home). Maybe another time. I went for the New Acquaintance, which was a little hazy but a pleasant enough drink. Worth a visit on days when we don't have to wait until 4pm for the pub to open (not Mon/Tue/Wed), though locals were gathering while I was here, so it's obviously popular.

Certainly a good ale range but I was slightly underwhelmed, pretty bland interior dominated by a huge Six Nations rugby TV. and not the character or cosy feeling that I was expecting. Some overloud middle aged locals were making themselves centre of attention. There are certainly better pubs down the hill.
